Ebm

City lights

Ebm

Ain't treatin' me right

On this side of the wall

Ebm

I'm thinkin' it's time

Ebm

To turn on a dime

For the Sierra Madre call

Ebm

I caught wind

Ebm

From a friend of a friend

Of mighty wealth untold

Ebm

If the stories are true

Nothin' left to do

Ebm

But head down to Mexico

[Chorus]

Desert wind

Blowin' me away again

Now you're my only friend

Ebm

I've got left to call

[Verse 2]

Bought a two-bit mule

From a horse-theivin' fool

To cross the Rio Grande alone

But I had not a fear

Where the federale roamed

Once I was through

I knew what to do

Had to send that old mule home

I'm now on the trail

That lead most to hell

Ebm

After Pancho Villa's gold

Blowin' me away again

Followed the words

Ebm

That I'd been told

Amongst the hillside shadows cold

When I talked to him

I caught a chill

For the cavern it did hold

Ebm

The answers to questions that I never had

With riches I could hold

Ebm Bb

N.C.

But truth of a man ain't built with hands or Pancho Villa's gold

[Chorus]

Desert wind

Blowin' me away again

Now you're my only friend
